Hello godlike KDE-developpers...

Whenever I expand a list item of a tree list (e.g. the directory list of konqueror, \
but this happens in all apps, so I posted it as a general KDE wish; I also guess it's \
a global lib thing), that is near the bottom, not all or none of the sub-items are on \
screen, and I have to scroll to access them. As somebody who just switched over from \
Windows (yes, I finally detached from the dark side of the software) I find this very \
annoying. And even someone as hardcore as you all probably are will have to admit \
that the way these lists are handled in Windoze saves time: If not all sub-items of \
an opened item fit on the screen, the list automatically scrolls down until either \
all sub-items are on screen or the main (parent-)item reaches the top of the visible \
part of the list. This saves a lot of down-scrolling time in konqueror and other \
programs. I'd be _really_ grateful if this could be fixed (or, if it can be set in \
the control center, don't hide it!)

Oh, and finally, I'm not sure whether this has already been posted, but sadly there \
doesn't seem to be a way to search the withlists with the bug tracking system, and I \
just don't have the time to scan through 10000s of items.
